Tweetdeck

Although exhausted from a full day of work and then two hours at the bank, I did manage to play around a bit last night.

I added Tweetdeck to my Google Chrome browser and played around with it for a while. I must say that I like how it is embedded right into my Chrome interface and easily accessible when I make a new tab in my browser.

I imported my stuff from both Twitter and Facebook, as I thought this would save me some time as I would only need to check into one place. However, I didn't like how the Facebook and Twitter were mixed up together so moved the Facebook data. I think I will play some more, having only my Twitter feeds in the Tweetdeck before trying to add Facebook again.

I like the way the columns are set up in Tweetdeck and how easy it is to add hashtags or lists as separate columns. I didn't import any of my lists from Twitter as I am not that pleased with them - I may delete them completely and restart with some new columns in Tweetdeck.

I do think this is going to be a better way to manage the information flow in Twitter and I can add new columns as I want to follow various interests.
